!New York Institute of Photography – Fireworks Photography – Tips for Great Fireworks Photographs from NYIP. Happy 4th of July, here are some tips on shooting fireworks. The basics are that you need a tripod and you need to be able to take a long exposure.

With “digital cameras”:http://www.nyip.com/tips/current/digfirewks.php, you need a tripod, a cable release and if you have a dSLR, mirror lockup, to prevent shaking. They are set so you need 1-3 seconds to achieve an aperture and ISO:

| ISO SETTING | APERTURE RANGE |
| ISO 50 | ƒ/5.6 to 11 |
| ISO 100 | ƒ/8 to 16 |
| ISO 200 | ƒ/11 to 22 |
